Differents Methods to Estimate the Mean Radiant Temperature in an Urban Canyon

Abstract:

The mean radiant temperature is one of the meteorological key parameters governing human energy balance and the thermal comfort of human body. This variable can be considered as the sum of all direct and reflected radiation fluxes to which the human body is exposed. After the basics of the T_mrt calculation a comparison between two methods suitable for obtaining T_mrt in a street canyon will be presented. One of the discussed methods of obtaining T_mrt is based on the utilization of a globe thermometer. The other method is the radiation environment simulation through three PC software (RayMan, ENVI-met and SOLWEIG).
